Turning the Page on Soaring Power Costs

With power from the grid for industrial use being sold at unreasonable high rates, and the cost of diesel or other liquid fuels sky-rocketing, power itself has become an expensive proposition for industries, and directly affects their economics.

Process steam in huge quantities is a very important input for the paper manufacturing process. Paper plants therefore, need to install a boiler to ensure a continuous flow of process steam. With the high cost of power directly affecting profits of paper industries, the best option that manufacturers have is to install their own captive power plants, which will operate in co-generation mode.
